"Cartoon Flintstone who said "Yabba-dabba-doo!" answer

The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:

FRED

The rest of the ladder at the top of the page stays hidden until you tap a rung, so you can check this word without giving away the others.

Why FRED fits

If you've already solved FEED, change its second letter from E to R. The top word, FREE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FRED only in the fourth letter, E instead of D.
